Spock: It's killing the captain! Shoot, quick!

 

[CoveTom]

MCCOY: I won't shoot Nancy.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Spock: "If she were Nancy... could I do this?!?!"

Starts smacking her around (weirdly, his hands both clasped together)



^ the look on McCoy's face!

 

[Leandar]

McCoy: Stop it! Stop it, Spock! Stop it!

 

[Kolrad]

(sorry; my obsessive-compulsiveness demands I correct the line that never fails to make me laugh)

Spock: This is not *slap* NANCY! If *slap* she were NANCY, *slap* could she take THIS?! *slap*

 

[Leandar]

^^LOL, it happens to me too.

Spock: Is that Nancy, Doctor?

 

[CoveTom]

MCCOY: No. (a beat) No!

 

[Leandar]

(Kirk screams, McCoy fires, creature turns back into Nancy)

Nancy: Leonard. Leonard, no. Leonard. Leonard, please!

 

[LeadHead]

McCoy: Lord, forgive me.
(McCoy fires Phaser again, Salt Vampire dies)

I'm sorry, Bones.

 

[LeadHead]

SULU: Warp one, sir. Leaving orbit.

 

[ChristopherPike]

(sorry; my obsessive-compulsiveness demands I correct the line that never fails to make me laugh)

Spock: This is not *slap* NANCY! If *slap* she were NANCY, *slap* could she take THIS?! *slap*

Classic.

 

[LeadHead]

And that's all on this one folks! Well done everybody. CoveTom, who chooses next?

 

[Kolrad]

Kirk: I was thinking about the buffalo, Mr. Spock.

I love this line; one of Star Trek's great last lines. (I know technically there's a little dialogue afterward, but I found this really memorable.)

 

[Ziz]

Can I make a suggestion for the next thread? More stage directions, like when

- there's significant visual action without dialogue
- the same character ends one scene and starts another, put something in there to indicate the scene has changed
-something happens within the scene to change the character's focus - this specific line comes to mind

Spock: A very interesting hypothesis Doctor. Briefing room.

In between those two lines, there was the comm paging sound. It took me a minute to figure out what was missing. Little bits of stage direction makes it easier to keep the episode playing in your head in sync with the thread.

 

[CoveTom]

Congratulations, everyone! I'll be back shortly with the results of the "who chooses next" game...
